Obituary of Catherine Sampson
Catherine Kay Sampson, of Port St. Lucie, passed away at her residence, December 24, 2007. She was born December 12, 1932 in Cambridge, MA, and had been a resident of Port St. Lucie since 1989, moving from Sudbury, MA.
Catherine began her career while still in High School, in which she was a straight A student, by working at the Registry of Motor Vehicles in Boston. She later went to college at night for Electrical Engineering, to become an electrical tracer and draftsman for GE, working on projects for the U.S. Navy. After raising a family, she became an electronics technician for Western Electric/AT&T in Massachusetts, and retired in 1989 after 22 years of service. She and her husband Bob then moved to Florida, which had been the familys lifelong dream.

She was an accomplished guitarist and songwriter, poet and author of many short stories, some of which she had hoped to publish.
